This old rusted hook was screwed into a blue wooden fence post or something of that nature, and had bits of ivy covering it.
Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, Pinal County, AZ Jul 2, 2011 — I hand-held multiple exposures then converted five images to tiffs using Lightroom. I used Photomatrix to tone-map the HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins DeNoise, Detail, and Simplify, and touched-up the image using Photoshop.

Why rust? Well, rust is cool. I mean, look at it this way. Metal tends to be pretty tough stuff. You can smash it, bend it, reshape it, fire it, freeze it, generally abuse it in a number of different ways. But if you really want to destroy it with minimal effort, just leave it alone for a while outdoors in a moist environment. In time, it will break down.
Viewing large on black shows all the grungy details. ;)
This is an old Plymouth that sits in a driveway in my neighborhood. I love the colors of the rust against the fading body paint. Throw a little chrome in there and it's photographic eye candy. ;)

PROCESSING NOTES:
for each individual image I ...
- duplicated the Background Layer, changed to LAB Mode, ran a high-pass filter, changed back to RGB Mode, and switched the blend mode of that layer to Soft Light
- duplicated the new layer to double the effect
- made another duplicate of the Background Layer, dragged it to the top, ran high-pass filter, changed blend mode of that layer to Soft Light (to bring out details even more)
- made a stamp of all layers, added a b&w adjustment layer, manually adjusted it for a high-contrast look, switched that stamped layer to Soft Light blend mode, then tweaked the b&w adjustment layer until I achieved the desired look
- added a texture layer to the top and changed it's blend mode to Soft Light
After putting them all into the collage then individual adjustments were made (curves, hue, levels, masks where needed, etc.) to get them all to flow well.

The Altoona Railroaders Museum, in Altoona, PA, holds an amazing collection of old train cars. Many of the train cars are quite old and certainly show their age. This picture is the side of one of the train cars in the museum's Roundhouse. The rust has beautiful texture and color.
